A horn antenna is provided which is capable of operating at a plurality of separate frequencies while providing substantially equalized E and H-plane patterns for each of the separate frequencies. The antenna includes a coupling portion to permit coupling to a communication device. An inner portion is coupled to the coupling portion, and includes a first choke having a depth which extends substantially parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the antenna and a width which extends in a radial direction of the antenna. The depth and the width of the first choke are set so that the first choke will operate at the first frequency. An outer portion is coupled to the inner portion, wherein the outer portion has a maximum diameter in the radial direction which is greater than the maximum diameter in the radial direction of the inner portion. The outer portion includes a second choke which also has a depth to extend substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the antenna, and a width which extends in the radial direction. The depth and the width of the second choke are greater than the depth and the width of the first choke, and are set so that the second choke will operate at the second frequency. By virtue of the fact that the depths of the chokes extend in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the horn, the maximum electrical aperture of the antenna can be very close in size to the maximum physical diameter.
